Speak Spanish Fast With These Simple Tricks

By Noah M. Benjamin

If you want to speak Spanish fast, you're in luck. If you already speak English, you're even luckier. Why? Because, if you utilize the right techniques, I promise you'll be able to speak sufficient Spanish in just a few weeks, and be nearly conversational in just two months; if you know English very well, this could potentially be even faster.

It's estimated that, in most languages, there are roughly 300 words that account for almost 80% of the spoken language. If you had access to those 300 words, and dedicated yourself to learning 10 new words a day, you would know a good chunk of the language in just one month.

There are a number of guides -- software and audio programs -- that can help you learn basic Spanish grammar and the bulk of these words, and I highly recommend them.

However, the trick most linguists swear by makes learning these words even easier. What is it? Simple -- build a base in the language, and then immersing yourself in the language.

Use Spanish training software that immerses you and gives you a base in the language -- this could take only a week. After that, find friends who will speak with you in Spanish. This may sound silly, but read children's books in Spanish -- they are written in VERY basic language, and are often accompanied by pictures that will help you learn. Once you're feeling more advanced, use a good online translation tool and read an online Spanish newspaper. Using all these methods, your brain will be forced to use and remember those commonly-used words I mentioned above!

If you use good Spanish language training software, and supplement it with an hour of immersing yourself in the language every day, I guarantee you will be able to speak conversationally in about two months. With just one month of doing this, you will be able to get by just fine anywhere in any Spanish-speaking country.
